The Shortlist for Oct. 23

On Dec. 7, Courtney Love's autobiography will reportedly be available on Amazon. "Nothing is off limits, not her relationship with Billy Corgan and Trent Reznor, nor her engagement to Ed Norton, and for the first time her marriage to Kurt Cobain will be revealed as the tragic romance it really way," the publishing house, HarperCollins, promises in a preview description of the book. "This is a riveting story, too crazy not to be true." Earlier this year, Love told Rolling Stone that she was working on the book, promising nothing too "linear."

"I'm reading 'Just Kids' again because I know [Patti Smith] wrote that by herself, and 'My Booky Wook' by Russell Brand, which I think is a great book in terms of just his voice," she told the magazine at the time. "And then I found an old Tallulah Bankhead book where she is very fabulous. So it's a combination of those three books."
